Prayer Request

We got news last nite that our Brother in Law Saw (Tim's sister Joy's husband) is in the hospital with congestive heart failure. He had been having problems since this spring but the VA hospital just kept telling him it was his medication and tweaked with it off and on and sent him on his merry way. Thankfully (sounds morbid but...) he was having shortness of breath and was taken to Mercy and admitted. Being that it was an "emergency" he is able to stay there for care and they finally came to a diagnosis. This is the latest update from Joy:
"Sam is hanging in there. We found out yesterday that he has congestive heart failure. This morn. found his heart is only working at 10% capacity and he has 3 arteries that are blocked.Also they think he has a problem with his gallbladder.I'm really upset that the VA has let this go since March.Thanks for your prayers. It helps as you well know!"
So if you could all keep him in your prayers... we are hoping that he is finally able to get the treatment he needs.
